Suspension/Tire Question Vibration and Noise.
Ok, kinda liek a previous post i had just read but WAY worse. I have read that after lowering the S4 to a certain point you start to throw the TOE angle off alot and you can never get it perfect. Which in turn causes the inside of the tires to wear faster than the out side of the tire.
.
With that being said....about 15,000 miles ago i had new tires put on. then about 10k ago i had the Coilovers installed. The shop was supposed to have it aligned but they never did so i drove with a bad alignment for roughly 2,000 miles. After getting the alignment they told me my front right tire had some wear cause of the bad toe angle. Well now 5-8k miles later i seem to be noticing with the cold weather or maybe just the tires getting worse that At highway speeds 55-85mph+ i get alot of vibrations sometimes its just subtle and puts you to sleep, but then sometimes is extremely noticable and gets kinda loud.
I just looking to see if any1 has had this problem or if any1 is a tire/suspension specialist and thinks they know what the problem is....
Also i looked at the tires on right side and they have a very Odd tire wear on the outter edge, almost looks liek the tires were low on air and i was riding on the wall for a little while (which didnt happen) thats just what it looks like happened.
I also am gonna jack it up tomorrow and give a few wiggles to check the wheel bearings and such.
Thanks for any help fellas. i would liek to get back to the nice Luxury car feel on the highway hahah seeing as i drive to and from school often 45min drive all highway. haha
